The TEN4Health service aims to improve access of mobile citizens to healthcare provision in other Member States, based on a secure web service and its integration into developing European eHealth networks. Its key components include : pertinent online information for citizens in their language at the point and time of treatment abroad, instantaneous online verification of insurance status, online billing and reimbursement
procedures across Member State borders and assurance of interoperability. The TEN4Health service package thereby fundamentally contributes to a better acceptance of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and prepares for its eCard version.
